  • Decomposition is irrelevant. Nothing you flush decomposes by the time it gets to treatment (or the ocean / fuck the environment amirite). The main problem with these wipes is they don’t even break apart. Their little sabotage trojan horses that corporations injected into out sanitization systems, and we continue to let them falsely advertise, instead of fining them for ALL the damages they cause.



  • When you look at what humanity has done to the planet, especially in the last century, an extremely selfish humanity — deserving of the suffering they cause themselves in their confusion — was always self-evident.

    We’re quite literally killing the planet to the extent that it will likely become unviable for human civilization within a century or so, most living species will be exterminated, and billions of people will starve to death … and every day most of us choose not stop the destruction because it individually grants us a constant stream of dopamine hits from consumption and consumerism; the consequences are out of sight, and out of mind.

    We’re extremely ignorant, arrogant, dopamine-drug-addicted, talking chimps on a one way trip to oblivion. If it makes you feel any better, we never really stood a chance.

    IMO the “replicate reddit, but decentralized” approach will be the downfall of Lemmy. You sound like you’re trying to do the right thing, but there is significantly more moderator centralization and authoritarianism on Lemmy than there was on early reddit. Most of the early reddit mods were people who genuinely had an interest or experience in that subs topic; not the tankie or excommunicated from elsewhere simply “domain squatting” dozens of popular community names and then dictating over them once they grew popular; trying to carve out their own personal safe space soap boxes. I have seen dozens of mods who’ll debate someone and when they lose they just delete all of the opposing comments and ban the user they disagree with. Often they are the one and only mod of that community.

    Users left Reddit because they didn’t wanna have to deal with continued enshittification and unaccountable bad faith mods on a power trip. Lemmy only solved the former, and doubled down on the latter, while fragmenting users across numerous duplicate communities about the same topic; leading to significant post duplication amongst a sea of inactive duplicate communities.

    If Lemmy doesn’t solve its core issues I don’t expect it to last long and will move elsewhere sooner than later. I feel like users should be able to join a group of communities about the same topic, and moderator control should be both diluted and distributed amongst them. As in, redistribute moderation across the user base by randomly showing a group of users a post/comment and using the average rather than relying on whoever created the sub to act in good faith. Decentralized services should be built as trustless/adversarial; expect and account for bad faith actors. I wouldn’t have any problem being required to moderate a post/comment for every post/comment I make, I just don’t want the responsibility of being a permanent mod, nor having to review every single thing myself.







  • I don’t believe the “solid” core is solid in any sense of the word we can relate to; kinda like how Jupiters volume is mostly gas, yet 99% of that is at densities greater than the Mariana trench — where you would vaporize, and would feel more solid to us that anything we’ve experienced — and the “solid” core is more like a molten hydrogen liquid; hotter than the surface of the sun (but not hot enough for fusion).
